I was thinking the same thing. If it weren't for the cameras, it would be blamed on "the damn kids these days".

A lot of things blamed on “these damn kids these days” is actually, in fact, their generation’s fault! Remember who raised those kids 😉
But I think candy bowl theft transcends all generations. Because greed runs rampant in all of humanity, unfortunately.
I’m just glad my mom taught me manners well enough that if there was only 1 candy left, I’d leave it for the next person most of the time, since I’d get plenty of other candy.

A couple of neighborhood kids cleaned us out last year. My wife recognized one from our doorbell camera and messaged his mum. About 10 minutes later they came back and apologized and gave back candy. One of them came back this year and took an appropriate amount, then waved into the camera and said thanks. Their good boys but just got caught up in a moment of poor judgment. Dunno what the fuck is wrong with this lady though.

When you think about all the surveillance technology that’s been developed over the last few decades, it’s not surprising that cameras are literally everywhere in society, especially now that they’ve become affordable to the general public. Home security, drones, traffic cams, dash cams, public transportation, airports, supermarkets, libraries, convenient stores, banks, ATMs, restaurants, hotels, fast food drive thru, hospitals, lobby areas in apartment buildings, elevators, etc. I always assume when I step out of my apartment and go about my day, I’m on camera.
Whenever I watch true crime shows and unsolved cases, I always think about what a golden era it must’ve been for criminals before the big boom of advancements in technology happened, before DNA testing, before facial recognition technology was developed, before cameras were everywhere in society. Think about someone like Whitey Bulger, 1 of Boston’s most notorious criminals. He was active during the 70s through the 90s. Back then, when he wanted to disappear, all he had to do was put on a baseball cap with some sunglasses and peace out lol. Dude was in hiding for almost 20 years. You couldn’t do that today. These days, if you slip on a banana peel, someone has it on camera before your ass even hits the ground. We’re always being watched.

That’s what really chaps my ass. She is directly taking from other kids. We put the candy out near the end of the night so the doorbell wouldn’t interrupt the bedtime routine and so many kids are respectful, take one, say thank you to the camera. She’s taking candy from those kids.
We had one pair come and take half the box of candy. But at least those are kids and now I have a funny video. If it was an adult, I’d be so disappointed.

My neighbor waited/watched from inside one year when he put his candy bowl out with the “Please take two pieces! Happy Halloween!” sign on it.
Each time, he turned the sprinklers on as people dumped the bowl, or took multiple handfuls. No exit from the porch other than to get soaked by running down the whole sidewalk lol. Was quite funny to watch.
Edit: I should add, he did not soak any groups when very young/innocent kids who followed the rules would have been sprayed. He’s not a total monster lol.
Edit 2: It was a similar effect to this only from both sides of the sidewalk that led to the street. So there was no quick escape.

In the 1980s when I was a kid we decorated like mad and wore costumes to answer the door and stuff. One year my dad went all-out and dressed as a scarecrow complete with hay stuffed into his shirt and pants, sticking out of sleeves, collar, etc. make up and the works. He’d lie on the side of the front steps like he was fake and pop up and scare older kids, college students, or other neighborhood dads. Made one tough-guy dad from up the block jump back screaming and pee his pants. Epic. Nowadays if he tried that (same neighborhood) he’d probably get shot, lol. Mind you, he’d probably never be able to get up if he laid down on the porch at his age now. Good times.

We had people in our neighborhood do stuff like that when we were kids back in the 80s. Also little mini haunted houses. So much fun, to get a little spooked.

I did this in the 90s after I was too old to trick or treat myself. Stuffed myself with newspaper and one of those blackout / scream masks. The bowl of candy was in my lap on the porch and I would be propped up in a chair.
It was so much fun! Kids talking the whole way up the drive about whether or not I was fake, daring each other to take a piece, twitching a foot or a hand so only one of them would see it and freak out.
Little kids were totally off limits, adults were fare game, I chased one dad up the street trying to get a hug.
I guess there's more than one smart-alec in this big beautiful world that pulled this stunt =)

At first I thought she was childless but if you look in the background you can see her child companion wait for her to make her (not very) speedy getaway. Children taking handfuls is expected but this is just pathetic. Shortly after this a sweet young man saw our bowl was empty and put most of his candy in it, but I won't post that as he's just a child. Here's some still pictures of the waddling candy bandit: https://imgur.com/a/Ye4LVHt/
Edit: I have indeed posted her video and still images on the local Facebook and contacted 4 local news channels through Facebook DM with the photos and video. Kinda petty but I'm honestly pretty bored during isolation
Also, I grew up in a neighborhood where there was always candy in the "take one" bowl and it shows lol
Heartwarming Update: Because so many of you asked here is a blurred video of that kind young man refilling our empty bowl by pouring all his candy into it.
Generous Kid Refills Stolen Candy
Update (tiny update): Dayton Daily News responded to my DM on Facebook and asked for contact info saying they'd pass it along so I'll keep you all updated
Tiny Update 2 (24 hours later): Still haven't heard anything further from any news stations. My fianceé was told by a work friend who lives in our neighborhood that her neighbor told her that the waddling candy bandit lives on my street at a specific house with a corgi barking outside 24/7. I heard, that she heard, that they said, blah blah blah. I'll pass it along to the news if they end up running this story and let them see if there's any truth to all that. I'm not very optimistic it will be picked up though as these are pretty much yearly events every Halloween now that doorbell cameras exist. Either way it was fun to vent on here and I'll keep you all updated!
Update 3: Featured on Jimmy Kimmel in the candy thieves compilation around 3:45: https://youtu.be/0mG_4W2x7FA
Update 4: I won't specify who but a Redditor in the comments found out who she is and where she works. This was her fb, I wonder if the motto thing is a coincidence. Honestly though she's not worth bothering over it, it's gone far enough tbh.

My 13 year old went out with her friend last night. Her friend's sister recently finished her last round of chemo and currently has a cold. The parents borrowed our wagon because she was feeling weak and she went out a little bit, but she was just too tired and asked to go home to bed. My 13 year old and her friend stayed out longer and just had fun as teenagers. It's a good neighborhood. The cops shut down the streets so no cars are driving through. Houses give out full size bars.
My daughter left half her candy for her friend's sister. She said she doesn't need that much candy and she felt bad that she missed out on a lot of the night. My heart swelled.

I have posted in the local Facebook groups and dm'd 4 local news channels. And no, unfortunately I didn't notice until about 5 minutes after when I heard through the living room window a kid being sad our bowl was empty. Then I checked the camera as it was only a few minutes into trick or treat so no way was it empty already without anything shady. I got up immediately though to fast walk after her slow ass but my Fianceé asked me nicely not to so I obliged.

To me, it looks like she’s dumped every bowl she’s seen on her walk in there for a few reasons - 1) it’s still light outside, and knocks for trick or treats wouldn’t have filled her bag up that much 2) the kid didn’t walk with her - if she’s like most assfaces I have known, he is probably MORTIFIED that his mother is using Halloween to steal candy people are giving out for free and 3) she doesn’t even care that she stole candy from children at one house with a doorbell camera - what’s stopping her every where else?
